Advances in knowledge related to team performance at work show that the characteristics of team members are important predictors. Amongst these, the image that the worker has as a professional can offer significant contributions to this field, especially when related to affective variables, such as team satisfaction. It is thought that this self-perception is associated with team satisfaction. To test this hypothesis, an empirical study was conducted using information collected from questionnaires answered by 373 employees working for technology companies. Data were analyzed based on the construction of hierarchical regression where the four factors of the self-concept scale were evaluated as predictors. Results show that the group of factors explains approximately 14% of the variance in satisfaction. Therefore, by understanding the perception that the worker has of himself, this allows us to comprehend a considerable degree of his satisfaction with teamwork.
